Ok so I finally joined facebook last night. And I don't get it. Ok so I have been chatting a bit with a nurse I used to work with in Chic0 but I don't get it. What are the little sea creature and flower things. I mean they're cute but what is the purpose behind them? Seriously. I'm really curious. Of course it looked through like my highschool graduating class to see who was on facebook. I saw a couple names I recognized but I hardly felt like saying "hey add me as your friend even though I hated your snobby ass in highschool" Sort of seems hypocritical. Enjoying my free time from work and not really stressing too much yet about the lack of contract. I have 2 different recruiters currently working on possible contracts so I guess I'll see what comes up. If I don't have any possibilities by say Monday I may sign up with another recruiter, preferably one of the big ones this time.
I figure at this point that AF is due to arrive any day and I'm ready to get started again. I've gotten almost all of my labs done except for the CD 3 FSH and Estradiol. Oh and I forgot to talk about the 24 hour urine for Cortisol that I had to do. So here's where I sound like either a freak or a total lab geek. I had always wanted to do a 24 hour urine. No, not because I'm gross and live to save my pee in a bucket of ice in the tub. But because I've always wondered exactly how much I pee in one day. Turns out the the whole process was much more difficult and gross than I had anticipated and that I don't pee nearly as much as I would have thought. The times when I feel like I'm going to die if I don't pee, turns out there is only about 400 mL of urine in that bladder. Lord help me when (if?) I'm pregnant and I have a baby dancing on my bladder. Yes, as always I know I'm weird and I'm pretty much ok with that. Anyways, I'm anxious to get started again but of course now money is back to being a bit of an issue since I've got at least 2 weeks off work unpaid. Ugg. I think I'm getting sick of this. I need a contract where I like the job well enough to stay put for a while without picking up and moving every 3 months. And I really want/need to figure out how to do my next IVF preferably by the end of the year. One I want it on this years taxes since I should have a buttload of medical expenses this year. Two I have a feeling that I may end up needing to go home soon. There's some stuff going on at home that is sort of stressing me out and making me feel like I need to head that way. Right now though I'm trying to keep a brave face and positive attitude about it all until there is more for sure information. So, I need to go back to work. Maybe even pick up some per diem hours somewhere for a few days. I should ask my recruiter about that.

I agree with you about Facebook. :) I've had people from high school wanting to be my "friend" and they completely ignored me in high school and it's like...now you want to be my "friend"???
Hope things go quick so you're on the road to IVF real soon!!
I have facebook but only really for blog people and a few local friends. never for high school stuff.
I am also not on much and do not collect things unless I need them to communicate somehow.
Hoping you hear news from recruiter soon and good news from home too.
I don't get those social networking sites either. I must be old.
After my c/s, and because of all the edema, I was peeing a liter every 4 hours. It was insane. I didn't know a bladder could hold that much.
facebook has been good therapy for me. Like you I didn't quite get it so I just joined and forget. Soon I started to get e-mails from people wanting to friend me. People that were not so friendly back in the day...but I accepted the olive branch and actually had some really important conversations (via e-mail) that I needed to. I got some really good closure on people that were assholes and are now humans.
It seems like most of the people in my friend group are old roommates, college friends and blog buddies!
Facebook sucks, I totally don't get it lol.
on the IVF stuff, good luck with that.
I did a 24 hr urine and I just bearly made it over the min of 30mL/hr. I would have been money I pee wayyyyyy more than that. It's crazy how we really don't know our bodies.
I was facebooking for a few months and its ok but gets hard when you think 'I wonder what they are up to', find their profile picture and realise they are clinging onto a gazillion offspring. Then it is depressing.
I feel way too old for Facebook.
I'm not sure about Facebook yet. I'll give it some time but it is not exactly knocking my socks off yet.
